Looking at Life through Rose Colored Glasses

Today has seemed to have a theme, the theme of glasses. Earlier my mother called and told me that her appointment with her eye specialist went well. She will not be needing surgery. Her eye doctor instead, wants her to try glasses with prism lenses. I started to think about what it would be like to look at life through glasses that were prisms. For someone with normal vision it would distort how things looked. Now think about it – what if you distorted how you looked at life?
While thinking about distorting my vision of life, I happened upon this video that a friend of mine shared

Now just imagine after watching the video, that you took a moment and put on those glasses and looked at the people that you encounter each day through that lens. How would YOUR life change? Would you be kinder, more patient? Try putting on these glasses each day if only for five minutes and see what happens.

Why the Fourth Pew?

Some of you may be wondering where the name The Fourth Pew comes from. The short answer is that when my husband is serving on the altar, I sit in the fourth pew with the rest of my family.

This past November my husband was installed as an Acolyte in the Catholic Church. This is his final step before being ordained a Deacon. For the last 6 years my husband has been studying, learning theology and preparing for this vocation. Ordination is set for Pentecost Sunday of 2011.

I am hoping this blog will be a blessing to all of us but especially for you the dear reader.
